Calgary will be over-confident and won't expect the riders excellent D. Just like in the pre-seasson when CGY blew out EDM and then played the Riders and were completley shut down until the riders took out their starters.
The Riders can win this game. But they can realistically lose just as easy. I think it's unrealistic for us Rider fans to expect another knock out performance from our defence.
The stamps with their balanced attack are very good at putting points on the board. Even if they don't hit the redzone, it's unlikly Sandro DeAngelis is gonna miss his field goals.
For the Riders to win, the offence needs to put more points on the board. 16 points is not enough.
I hope Kent Austin figures out his RB situation in a hurry. I'm not saying cut Childs. I like him. But he never looked ready in Montreal. Especially his running. The Als made it look like anyone on the street could stop him. I'd like to see Bracey next game. I think Wes Cates needs more time to learn the offence. I won't curse Kent Austin for sticking with Childs next game, but I say it's Bracey's turn next game!
And of course, the Riders are gonna win. But I think this one will be a good tight game.
Well im confident they'll at least be prepared for this game. Calgary is a very good football team, and the Riders will have to get pressure on Burris to shake his confidence early.
Im going to be very disappointed if this game is anything less than a sell out.
I never realized it but we got a fairly difficult schedule to start the year. Away in Montreal, home to Calgary, home to BC, a home and home with the Eskimos.
We don't get the Ticats til week 15! If were in the thick of things at the midway point i'll be happy
If Calgary wins, it'll be a blow out, if we win, it'll be a close game, in my opinion. I really can't vote on who will win because it matters which rider's offense shows up and which Burris shows up to me! This game is a total mystery!
Yeah I agree. After the preseason sell-out, then the win in Montreal. This one will be a sell-out for sure. Are you going? is everybody going? I am totally going!
Not like the preseason tickets... Im not dumb, but YOU are crazy if you think the amount of free tickets during regular season even comes close to the amount during the lone preseason game.
Calgary put up 39 points last week, Saskatchewan only 16. 16 points will not be enough to beat the Stamps. Sask's defence will need to be big, but offence will need to be much better.
